Large captivate file crashes during preview

Hi,
I have a very large training -- 600 or so slides -- that I created in Captivate 6. It is mostly made up of Power Point slides and demo videos. When I preview it using f8, it crashes at several points in the training, and always at the same spots. When I preview using F10, it doesn't have this problem. Luckily, the published version doesnt seem to crash, but I would like to preview the project with having to publish it.
Let me know if you can help..
Thank you!
Ryan

Ok.. Thank you!

Captivate 5 Crashes During Publishing of Cap.4 file

Hi All --
So I'm trying to help a fellow co-worker out. She needed me to clean up a Captivate 4 project for her in terms of quizzing and formatting, only I have Captivate 5, which of course makes this much easier, but I've tried publishing to .zip and .html about a dozen times and the publish crashes the entire Adobe Captivate 5 program, without fail, right around 31%.
I've made sure that the 5.1 patch is applied (which was supposed to fix publishing issues from Cap. 4), I've dumped the preferences folder (I'm a pro at this by now), and I've tried on both a Macintosh OS X 10.6 system and a Windows 7 System, and it does the same thing, so I don't know what is wrong. The project is a bit long at 168 slides, but there's no audio, and it's really a pretty basic project with the biggest interactivity being quizzes and rollover captions, so nothing as fancy as I usually do with advanced actions.
I realize this might have something to do with a particular slide or something, so this file can be temporarily accessed off of my iDisk using this link (https://files.me.com/dancomins/p7njsq), it's about 4 MB, if that might help address the issue.
I am a total loss -- I've had issues with Captivate before of course, but never at the publishing step -- so any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks so much!
Dan

Vikranth --
Through process of elimination, I have found the offending slide -- Slide 55 in the Captivate 5 version, which incorporates several fill-in-the-blank questions. When I hide that one slide, everything previews and/or publishes as it should. I had my colleague test her original Captivate 4 version in Captivate 4, and that slide worked just fine (it is however a slightly later slide number) -- the entire project previewed as expected. I then had her import her orginal file into Captivate 5 and do the same thing, and it crashed for her as well.
So, it must be something about the way that particular slide is setup that screws up somehow in the conversion from a Captivate 4 file to a Captivate 5 file. I'll just handle that question differently to fix the issue at hand, but do you have any idea why this problem might have occured in the first place? It seems that the patch didn't correct this situation as it corrected most of the other Captivate 4 to Captivate 5 issues.
Thanks to everyone for their help. I had to play detective and isolate the issue, and haven't solved it, but at least now I have a starting point to try and do the slide in a different way to work around the issue.

Premiere Pro CS6 Randomly Crashes During Preview

Hello,
I've searched and gone through various threads where crashing has been posted and none of the solutions have helped thus far.
There are two issues that I would encounter doing the most basic of tasks such as previewing a clip within Premiere Pro CS6:
- The preview screen will freeze and I am unable to see the video.
- The program will cause my video driver to encounter a serious problem and recover.
Here are my specifications:
Sony Vaio
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Operating System
Intel Core i5 2.40ghz
8 Gigs of Ram
ATI Radeon HD 6470m Graphics Card
The temporary solution to both that I have found effective is closing down the program, then opening task manager, ending the Adobe Premiere process and restarting Adobe Premiere. If I don't do this then the program can't be opened.
Here are some of the solutions I've implemented without any positive changes:
- Ensured display driver / graphics card is updated (ATI Radeon HD 6470m)
- Closed all other programs
- Couldn't change GPU acceleration because the video card doesn't allow it.
- Disabled Hover Scrub
I've spent a few days researching this and I'm very sorry for posting a question in regards to this issue. However, I can't seem to find the help I need from Support because their phone system is down and I can't use the ticketing system because I'm using the Adobe Creative Cloud. I would appreciate any help in advance. Thank you.

Just finished the phone call from Adobe support.
The solution to the problem is if Premiere freezes, create a new sequence and import your video into the new sequence. He didn't know the specifics of what caused the issue, but should it happen again, I'd have to just tansfer the video into a new sequence. my project has not malfunctioned in the past hour.

Large export file created during expdp

Hi,
When i execute datapump export for a single table it will make 5.6G export file size. While there is only 39K rows in the table. When i import this export file to another scehma it takes only megabytes. More than 98% size reduction. This is mytable sctructure.
ods.mytable
tb_ID NUMBER(22),
p_ID NUMBER(9) NOT NULL,
N_ID NUMBER(9),
D_NAME VARCHAR2(255 BYTE) NOT NULL,
FLAG VARCHAR2(1 BYTE) NOT NULL,
BODY CLOB
Most size taken by CLOB. Looks like most of data is shrinkable. How can i shrink the table to reduce the table size?
Thanks in advance

You can use Shrink or Move option of alter table command

Incopy crashed during editors save in Word on PC

I am the reporter here, let me know if I have left out any pertinent details...The editor has input all of the corrections into the Incopy file [created from Indesign 5.5 (v7.5.1)] on her PC in Word. During the save the file crashed. When she reopened it the corrections were still visible however, she got the message, "do you want to save back to an earlier version and lose your changes." No matter if we chose, yes, no or cancel, it would not get out of the loop. After many tries she was able to get passed that, and could see that her changes were still there. She packaged the file to send back to the remote designer. The remote designer now cannot see that any changes were made. We've had this problem in the past, where the editors file crashes during save and the changes are lost. The designer has ended up having to input the corrections into the indesign file:( Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You said:
The editor has input all of the corrections into the Incopy file on her PC in Word.
What exactly does that mean?
And all ID and IC users should be patched to 7.5.2.

GB crashing during large file export

GB 09 is crashing during an export of a project that is 2 hours and 20 min. I've tried diff export settings but the program still quits when it reaches about 3/4 of the project length.
No crashes in the past. Been exporting the project to rough cuts at various lengths from1 hour to 1 1/2, but upon finalizing the project, which happen to total over 2 hours, it can't make it through an export.
It's an audio book - talking only -no effects, other instruments, very straight forward.
I've tried exporting from the master .book file and a version with all the clips joined, tracks locked, and extra stuff deleted for project.
Here is some of the crash report (just pasting the first page of the crash report).

The file that crashes during export is over 2 hours long, but only 1 voice track with no effects!

Cp 5 crashes during publishing of large projects

I have large Captivate 5 projects with 300-450 slides divided into 2 to 4 slide groups. When I publish the SWF file, the publishing process always freezes at 70% and the application crashes (can't hit Cancel in the progress window ).
This is not due to any particular file; many of my large projects run into this problem.
This is probably not due to a particular slide since all the projects freeze at 70% and I can publish each slide group in its own project without any trouble.
The projects are straightforward demonstrations; no quizzing.
Scouring the net I've had trouble finding a resolution to the problem. I use Captivate 5.0.3.631
Hoping for ideas. Thanks for reading
-Patrick
PS.
I've tried:
> In publish dialog "Advanced Options", to enable "force re-publish all the slides"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Advanced Project Compression"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Compress SWF File"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to enable "Compress Full Motion Recording SWF file"
> to remove the slide groups and leave the slides ungrouped
> In Publish dialog, to publish as .f4v instead of swf
> to hide all the slides in a slide group in order to reduce the publish SWF to 200 or 250 slides.
None of these have worked.

Captivate 5 not rendering large exe files properly

Have imported large swf files into Captivate % (with seperate .wav files for audio). They all synch on the timeline at 24fps. for each slide. They look great in preview and when published to .exe they look fine on some computers. But we have encountered on at least 1 computer that the audio is out of synch with the video, and the video lags behind.
Would have not thought that this would be a problem with Captivate 5 exes.... Does anyone know a solution?
For preferences, I used Flash Player 9.

Sounds like the issue is something to do with either the specs or the codecs of the machine having problems.
The larger the SWF file and the more video you have, the more some machines will struggle to keep up with the decompression cycles.
Is the problem box of a lower spec (CPU speed etc) than the machines playing the content OK?
What version of Flash player is on each of the machines? (FP 10 handles video better)
Are the codecs up to date on that machine?
Find out what the differences are and you'll have your solution.

GoPro Cineform files cause Premiere to crash during Media Export

I first noticed this problem when using a project that had been copied and transcoded with GoPro codec as demonstrated in Dave Henly's helpful video. The codec is indeed beautiful.
However, 50% to 80% of the time when trying to export a project where there are GoPro files on the timeline, it'll get about halfway through the export before Premiere (or Media Encoder) simply freezes up.
I didn't know what was causing this problem until I was using one large GoPro-exported video as the new base layer for a project that had otherwise been working perfectly prior to that (using Canon 60D-created .mov files). Now it was crashing during every export. On a hunch, I re-exported that base layer as an h264 file and replaced the GoPro video on the timeline, and now the project exports out just fine.
Is this happening to anyone else? I'm using just the standard 8bit GoPro preset whenever I export out or transcode clips.
I'm using Premiere Pro CC, whatever the up-to-date version number is right now.
Windows 8.
24 gb RAM.
GeForce Titan Black
Intel Core i7

Similar problem.
The new feature rendering a ae comp inside premiere timeline is perfect, but using gopro cineform codec crashes premiere on export.

Problems viewing large tif files in preview

i'm having trouble viewing large tif files in preview. the tif files are on a cdrom - when i click on the file to open it, it opens only the first 250 pages of the file. the file has approximately 3,000 pages. how can i get preview to open the rest of the pages?
thanks for any suggestions.
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

no trick - i didn't create the cdrom but it only has 3 tif files with approximately 3000 pages each, not 3000 large tif files. plus several smaller pdf files, but those aren't giving me any problems.
i don't know whether they're compressed, but i still can't get more than the first 250 pages to open, even after copying the file to my desktop. if anyone has any other ideas, i'd much appreciate it.

Is there a good way to add a large music file to itunes match without itunes crashing?

I have several large music files that are DJ sessions and anywhere from 1-3 hours long. I deleted them from itunes while matching because they were causing match to crash at step 3 every time. I would like to add these files into match now but every time I try, it crashes again. Anyone know of a work around for this?

The iTunes Match service is designed to exclude such Songs. Perhaps handling them as Podcasts would help you.

I want to load large raw XML file in firefox and parse by DOM. But, for large XML file the firefox very slow some time crashed . Is there any option to increase DOM handling memory in Firefox

Actually i am using an off-line form to load very large XML file and using firefox to load that form. But, its taking more time to load and some time the browser crashed. through DOM parsing this XML file to my form. Is there any option to increase DOM handler size in firefox

Thank you for your suggestion. I have a question,
though. If I use a relational database and try to
access it for EACH and EVERY click the user makes,
wouldn't that take much time to populate the page with
data?
Isn't XML store more efficient here? Please reply me.You have the choice of reading a small number of records (10 children per element?) from a database, or parsing multiple megabytes. Reading 10 records from a database should take maybe 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second). I have written a web application that reads several hundred records and returns them with acceptable response time, and I am no expert. To parse an XML file of many megabytes... you have already tried this, so you know how long it takes, right? If you haven't tried it then you should. It's possible to waste a lot of time considering alternatives -- the term is "analysis paralysis". Speculating on how fast something might be doesn't get you very far.

In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Captivate File Too Large on Website

Hi Everyone,
I am new to using Adobe Captivate and am wondering if anyone can offer any suggestions on how to compress an Adobe Captivate file for a website.
Specifically, I am referring to the Adobe Captivate file on this website link: http://www.crawfordtech.com/news-events/transpromo-webinar
As you'll see, it takes a while to load.
How can I make it smaller so as to lessen download time? Can I do this in Captivate? If not, what software can I use for this kind of compression.
Thanks kindly,
Jamie

Hello,
Could you give some details about the size of this project, as well for the CP-file as for the SWF (which is published). And how many slides? Mostly it is recommended to limit the number of slides to 60. When not adding audio I successfully could have CP-files up to 120 slides. And what was the resolution of the captures? Try to capture at the minimum resolution: if you use 1280x1024 the files will be much larger than at 800x600.
What were your settings when publishing, especially for SWF quality and (if necessary) for audio compression?
You can also divide a large project in different projects and chain them together with Aggregator (CP4 only) or by daisy chaining.
